Title: Red-tailed hawk downtown toronto April 14th
Post by: gary yankech on April 16, 2011, 10:53:19 AM

I was standing in line with about a thousand other people waiting to get into St. Michael Cathedral for a choir concert when I heard crows cawing loudly. It turns out they were chasing a Red-tailed Hawk who had captured some type of rodent. He landed right on top of the cathedral and proceeded to devour his meal. Here he is cleaning up after eating. Since I was not prepared (I did not have my regular Sigma 500mm lens) I was only able these half-decent shots. Nevertheless, it made for a very interest wait in line.
